How Much Time Do You Usually Have To Get Dinner on the Table?

Growing up my mother used to say that if dinner didn't come together in less than 30 minutes it wasn't happening. Lately I've been feeling like I have even less time, so I'm curious: how much time do you actually have to pull together a meal for your family?
